Chapter 23: Sudden Understanding (part 4 of 8)
Merlin couldn't even have guessed what Arthur's nightmares were, but now it was so obvious.
This was one of those times Merlin started wondering if he really was an idiot.
The two of them had run into one of Morgause's minions a few weeks ago. They had managed to defeat him but only after he had said several things about Arthur's mother. Morgause had spread her venom among her followers, and the horrible things the man had said were certainly enough to trigger this reaction in Arthur.
Merlin just wished he had seen it before it had gotten this bad.
